Why don't I see more Lulu?

Lulu is great, and even more powerful than Soraka or Janna if your carry knows how to initiate and knows when to trust you. (if your carry does not go in to duel the enemy carry when you shield and speed buff them, then they don't know how to do this)

She is terrible when half the buffs get wasted because your carry is more concerned about CS and is about to get initiated on and mowed down by the enemy jungler. You can mitigate some of this with glitterlance and polymorph, but not by much. She is just so terrible when your carry is passive.

- Janna has a slow
- A global movement speed buff
- A shield that adds straight AD instead of flat magic damage
- A non-ulti knock up that can hit the entire team
- An ulti that knocks everyone back to reset team fights and save multiple allies

I love playing Lulu, but her ulti, while gamechanging, requires an initiator or a carry who knows what they're doing.

I will keep playing her, but in competitive play you aren't going to see her as much.

Why isn't she used more often? Is it because she doesn't offer as much in a team fight compared to when laning? That's the only reason I can think of. Maybe people just find her too complicated to use? I don't get it!

She's actually better in teamfights than she is in lane, I've found. Her kit has so much in it that you always have something helpful you can be doing.

The reason people don't pick her is because she's a generalist, and her mana costs are kinda high. Other supports synergize with some playstyles very well and others not so well while Lulu has a fairly even keel of synergy, not going too high or too low.

Janna's shield is better than Lulu's. I'd rather take an extra 45 ad than some extra magic damage that can get body blocked by creeps. Also my skills also scale with the 45 ad.

Her shutdown is outclasses by just a good hard stun.

She also has no sustain, so if you're against another support with a heal of any sort, the lane becomes tedious to match for CS and they can simply outfarm you because they don't have to b as much as you do.

The problem with Lulu is she doesn't support an AD carry too well. As Tiberius said above me, she's good at supporting Bruisers and APs, but not ADCs. Hence, without her ability to solo lane, or even have a substantial poke anymore, she's pretty meh at supporting bot, when a Sona/Raka/Janna would be better for the AD anyway.
